Hello to all members and thank you for allowing me onto the forum. I have been keeping cichlids for approx 2 years now and I find them much more interesting and colourful than all the tropical variety. I am still trying to identify the different types and doing my best to learn the latin names.If I happen to ask a stupid question, please bear with me.

Thanks for all the welcomes. I'm looking forward to learning a whole lot more about cichlids. I have a 4ft Rena bow front with a filstar xp2 filter. At the moment there are approx 30 fish.They are mainly juveniles, but a few adults. Some I know, but not all. I'll post pictures when I get my camera back from my step daughter. (Could be a while.)
